New Windows Mobile Bing App! Updated 04/14/2010
 
New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.

"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

I uploaded the Cab over here at XDA so everyone can download:

....even us Verizon users that got left out
This cab is for Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5.

Cheers!

Thank you for making this easily available.

I tried it and reloaded the september Bing cab I have.

The two main reasons for me were:
1. I like to be able to search by theater OR by movie, and it seemed like I could only search by movie on the new Bing.
2. [this is the deal-breaker for me] I can't access my contacts when trying to map something or get directions. I have to manually enter the address. That is as bad as my Sprint Navigation software. Very annoying.

When MS releases a new Bing that does these things, I'll use it. I hope it meets others needs though, as it looks much 'cooler' than the old Bing.

Those sound like 2 pretty legitimate reasons if you ask me... =D>

Finally, Bing can locate my position! It would never get a GPS lock before!

Thanks!

After insatlling the Mighty Mike Rhodium ROM, I realized the BING software was not present from my stock OWM Sprint ROM.

I downloaded the newsest version of BING. I think I liked the BING version on the stock Sprint ROM better.
Where can I find that cab?

Thanks.

I think Bing updated again on 4/27. I just installed MightyROM and then installed Bing from Marketplace and it says: "Released April 27." I wish the new version kept the same old functionality with the new look, i.e. gas prices.

I just tried the new download and it still doesn't allow access to our contacts list.

I downloaded it and it worked for Verizon. I was surprised until I realized my Turn by Turn didn't work. I could track myself via GPS but the Turn by Turn navigation would not Bing and let me know it was time for a turn. This works with the old version of Bing. :(

Thank you so much, I like this version of bing so much better than the latest one. I only downloaded the new one is cause it said to continue to use the Bing app you must update now...now that I have the old one back it will not work..any ideas?
